The only reason they work on glibc 2.11 is, AFAIK, because we built separate CentOS 6.5 binaries for them. :)
FWIW, the source should build fine on these platforms, so once we add the bindists for those systems, it should work Out Of The Box. But the Debian 7 bindist isn't going to work on them, that's true. We should probably rename the tarballs however... it's clear "deb7" and "centos65" aren't very enlightening names; something like "-glibc211-gmp4" vs "glibc212-gmp5" would be better, even if slightly longer.
